  • Normas Urbanísticas (Ordinances)
  • Actuación (Action Plan)
  • Estudio Económico-Financiero (Economic-Financial Study)
  • Planos (Blueprints)

System Equipment

System equipment is classified by area of coverage (district, sector, city, or territory), functionality, and variety of services:

  • Public and social interest equipment
  • Cultural facilities
  • Sport equipment
  • School facilities: The LOGSE system envisages:
    • a) General higher education
    • b) Special regime higher education
    • c) Non-formal education centers
  • Toilet facilities
  • Basic service equipment

  3. The minimum parking area, including access ramps and entries, shall not be less than 20 m² per space.
  4. Outdoor parking, annexed to the road network, is limited to a maximum of 50% of the total spaces provided in the plan.
